The Forever Now Festival is a one day event in Milton Keynes, happening on June 22nd in 2025. It’s linked to the US Cruel World event.

The first batch of performers have been revealed and it’s a strong batch: Kraftwerk, The The, Happy Mondays, Death Cult, Jesus and Mary Chain, Billy Idol and more.

The announcement said “Forever Now started as an idea…then became a song….then an album…and has lived on through the years. Now it’s also become a gathering of some legendary musicians on one day in one place, which we are proud to be part of.”

“Forever Now is more than just a festival—it’s a vibrant homage to the creativity and countercultural spirit born from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s that remains just as influential to present-day culture… From the fashionably dark to the fiercely unconventional, all are welcome to revel in a day of unforgettable music and community. This is a festival where nostalgia meets discovery, where new and devoted fans unite, and where forever truly begins now.”
